| Resumen: | This document specifies a method for the sampling of NO<(Index)2> in ambient air using diffusive sampling followed by extraction and analysis by colorimetry or ion chromatography (IC). It can be used for the NO<(Index)2> measurement in a concentration range of approximately 3 ?g/m³ to 130 ?g/m<(hoch)3>. A sample is typically collected for a period of 1 to 4 weeks, with exposure periods depending on the design of the samplers and the concentration levels of NO<(Index)2>. Several sorbents can be used for trapping NO<(Index)2> in ambient air using a diffusive sampler. This standard specifies the application of triethanolamine as the reagent. This standard describes the application of a tube-type sampler (with either a cylindrical or a slightly conical tube), a badge-type sampler and a radial-type sampler. The relative expanded uncertainty of NO<(Index)2> measurements performed using these tube-type diffusive samplers can potentially be lower than 25 % for individual measurements. When aggregating results to form annual average values, the relative expanded uncertainty can be further reduced to levels below 15 % due to the reduction of random effects on uncertainty. NOTE NO<(Index)2> passive samplers are also employed to measure NO<(Index)x> with the addition of an oxidant to convert ambient NO into NO<(Index)2>. A second NO<(Index)2> sampler is also deployed without the oxidant and the concentration of NO is determined from the difference of the two samplers. |
